Correctly working windows are essential for the comfort and safety of your home as well as for keeping your energy bills as low as possible. Unfortunately, poor installation is a very common problem with windows – here are some signs that your windows are not installed as they should be:
- Difficulties closing and opening the window – the problem is noticeable right away after installation and it aggravates over time if left unsolved. The issue can be usually fixed by replacing the damaged mechanical components, such as damaged hinges or chipped frames;
- Excessive fogging – while some fogging in winter is normal, if you see too much moisture on your windows, especially when the difference between the temperatures indoors and outdoors is not significant, it is a sign of either improper installation or of improper window quality;
- Draftiness – your windows are not supposed to let in air when they are closed. If you see your curtains moving when the window is closed or if you notice that the temperature in your room is lower at the level of the floor, you might suspect that your windows have not been installed correctly and there is a gap between the window and the wall around. Be sure to seek out a window company that is rated high in Denver replacement windows installations for your home or business.
